Cripps is going to be one of those opposition players I will enjoy watching play against any team but Melbourne.

And he played well against us in that un-loseable game last year.

Frightening to think of Cripps and Hogan together in one of the WA teams (and I bet they're plotting, the bastards).

 

The way the guy stands up in tackles and offloads the ball is amazing. Gonna be an absolute beast in a couple of years.

Redminded me a bit of Koutafidies.

This site is quite useful. He's listed at $51...not sure I'd be taking a punt on him this year, but I'm sure he'll win one if Carlton can start climbing the ladder.

Let's hope that never happens :lol:

If you re-did 2013 draft I'd have Cripps (13) at 1, Bontempelli (4) at 2 and Salem (9) at 3.

bontempelli (4), cripps (13), kade kolodjashnij (5), zach merrett (26), then salem (9) for mine.

Different players to me.

Cripps is a beauty but lacks leg speed, Oliver is quick off the mark and will hit the scoreboard more.

It's a bit of a myth that Cripps is slow.  Anyone remember how quick he looked last year out of the centre square when he monstered Melbourne ?  I've watched him a lot since then and he's not slow.  Even on Thursday night he didn't look slow when he ran into goal.

So I thought I'd dig back to when he was drafted and I found an interesting comment:

"Cripps also has some toe that serves him well when shifted to a wing or across half back."

Amazing player. Won't win the Bronwlow this year but you'd be a brave man to bet against him winning at least one in his career.

Hopefully he stays in Vic. The WA clubs would be salivating at the thought of Cripps and Hogan in the same side.

 

Please PM, don't go there...

One of my biggest fears.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
